a detective as all excitement and glory are re-

TEE BLUE AND THE GRAY.

The American people, after proving by
. long and terrible internecine wal
that they were the bravest people in the
world, have since demonstrated that
they are the most generous. For an ex.
ample Of this profound generosity, with
the astonishing spectacle Of the soldiers
Of the North and Of the South standing
side by side to do honor to the memories
Of their heroes and patriots who have
passed away. Thus they have stood to-
gether strewed flowers over the graves of
Federal and Confederate dead alike.
Thus they have stood around the mon
uments of Grant and Hancock, Lee and
Sidney Johnston. All differences are
forgotten, all hostilities banished, all
hearts are united in giving thanks at the
restoration of American nationality and
citizenship, and all are rejoicing in the
fame Of American prowess and heroism
as contributing to ths national glory. 1t
is most meet that this should be so. 1t
was necessary that great sacrifices should
have been made to establish on a firm
foundation the grandest free nation
on the earth. It has been done. The
work has been tried in the furnace
and baptized with the blood of heroes.
Henceforth all are Americans. O.
